作文
1. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled College Students’ Booklist based on the statistics provided in the table below. Please give a brief description of the table first and then make comments on it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.
The table shows the change of college students’ choice of books from 1992 to 2012. Obviously, novels and books of philosophy and society have declined greatly in importance, while books of foreign languages and computer science have been gaining popularity.
This phenomenon may be accounted for by two main factors. In the first place, college students need to study foreign languages and computer science well, because there is a pressing need for those skills in the employment market. In the next place, due to the availability of the Internet, many books can be read online.
As for my booklist, I have bought many computer books because computer is my major. Moreover, computer science often witnesses fast changes, thus in order to keep up with its latest development, I have to buy new books to constantly arm myself with new information.
